Give it a minute.

THERE IT IS.

 

And here's a little hunting tip:

HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Bakers, you keep using that word:

"Plain"

I do not think it means what you think it means.

(And am I the only one who thinks it's wrong to put frosting on angel food cake?)

 

First, you will be mildly traumatized:

Then, you will have just one burning question:

Is that actual fur??

 

Thanks to Jeremy C., Brittany W., Adrienne P., Jen C., & Angela G. for the shiny pink... hunting hat? Yeah. Let's go with that.

 

BONUS MYSTERY WRECK:

I often joke that I don't know what a cake is supposed to be, but seriously, you guys: I have no idea what this is supposed to be:

11 Freshly Brewed Cakes For People Who Can't Live Without Coffee

It's Coffee Day, my friends, and the time has come to celebrate coffee properly: WITH CAKE!

Yep, today's Sweets are for you coffee addicts out there. You know who you are. You need your morning cup of joe - or double mocha whipped cream frappuccino with chocolate sprinkles:

Mmmm.

Maybe you're one of those coffee bean purists, and grind your own beans:

Or maybe you prefer someone else do the work - and then throw a little latte art on top:

And dapper mustaches.

I'm also a fan of light cream:

Really REALLY light cream. 

Can you believe this delicate cup is all edible?

(Bonboni Cake, Egypt)

I want to pick it up and take a bite Willy Wonka style. CHOMP.

It seems like a lot of folks prefer Starbucks, so here's a clever use of the "sugar packets":

Plus check out that sugar paste lid! Amazing! 

Even the wood grain on the base is convincing. Dang.

Dunkin' Donuts coffee has a strong following, too:

(Baker Unknown. Help?)

It's hard to argue with a brand that comes with donuts. Mmmm, donuts.

Which reminds me, here's one for our Northern friends!

And here's a cute little pixie taking her "coffee scrub" to extremes:

I doubt there's much actual cake in there, but c'mon. SO CUTE.

Here comes a topsy-turvy gem with all the essentials:

Coffee, cookies, sugar, and a sweet little ghost to pour refills! Woot woot!

And finally, I found you an enormous coffee cup shaped like a donut, because I love you:

Big Mouth Donut Mug

It even says "Mmmmm, donuts" on the back!

Hope these made you smile, gang, and that your Sunday is extra Sweet.
